Explore DuPont, Washington, with this interactive street and satellite map.
This page also offers TOPO MAPS — the official USGS topographic sheets — plus USGS aerial imagery, a labelled USNG grid overlay, a distance and bearing tool, and a GPS grid-reference readout. See How to Use This Map below.
This interactive map shows the street layout and satellite imagery for DuPont, Washington. Use the Map and Satellite buttons above to switch between street map and aerial imagery views. Use the + and − buttons to zoom in or out, or scroll your mouse wheel while holding the Control key to zoom. On a touchscreen, use a two-finger pinch gesture. Drag the map to pan to any area of Washington or beyond.
Click ⛶ Fullscreen to expand the map to fill your screen. To return to the normal page view, press the Escape key, click the ✕ Exit Fullscreen button that appears above the map, or on a mobile device tap the back button (Android) or the close icon (iOS).
TOPO MAPS — NEW. Click the green 🔍 Search Maps button below the map to open a second map with a Base map row offering three choices. OSM is the standard OpenStreetMap street map. Topo shows the official USGS topographic maps from The National Map — contours, hydrography, land cover and shaded relief, the same mapping used for hiking, hunting and back-country navigation in the Adirondacks, the Catskills and the Finger Lakes. Imagery shows USGS aerial photography, mostly 1-metre NAIP. The search box finds any US town, county or landmark by name, so you are not limited to DuPont.
Reading the map like a paper quad. Click Grid to overlay the U.S. National Grid (USNG), labelled along the edges exactly as a printed topographic sheet is — at normal zoom the squares are one kilometre across, so you can read a six-figure grid reference by eye and judge distance directly off the map. Click Measure, then tap two points, to get the distance between them together with the grid bearing in degrees and mils, the true bearing, and the magnetic bearing to set on a compass.
Click 📍 My position to take a single GPS reading from your device. It marks where you are and reports your position as a USNG grid reference as well as plain latitude and longitude — USNG being the format FEMA and US search and rescue teams work from — with a Copy position button so you can paste it straight into a text message. It takes one reading and stops, rather than tracking continuously, to conserve your battery. Note that map tiles need cell coverage, but a GPS reading does not — your coordinates stay correct even where the map itself cannot load.

DuPont occupies a distinctive space where the earth softens into the quiet, expansive reach of the American Prairie. It lies 2.3 miles west-northwest of Fort Lewis, WA (from Fort Lewis, WA: bearing 288°T), and is situated 7.4 miles southwest of Lakewood. Sunlight filters through the canopy near Sequalitchew Creek, casting long, lean shadows that stretch toward the water’s edge. From the higher elevations of DuPont, the distant, jagged silhouette of the Cascade Range appears as a faint, violet bruise against the horizon. The air here holds a moisture that clings to the skin, cooling the landscape as one moves toward the proximity of Nisqually Reach. Near the serene waters of Grant Lake, the land settles into a stillness that feels both ancient and immediate.
DuPont traces its origins back to the industrious efforts of the E.I. du Pont de Nemours and Company, whose explosive manufacturing plant once defined the local economy. This legacy of labor transformed the terrain, leaving behind a foundation upon which a modern, residential character has since been built. Today, the economy of DuPont reflects a shift toward professional services and the stability provided by the neighboring military installation. The rhythm of daily life moves in concert with the changing seasons, as residents navigate the intersection of industrial memory and contemporary growth. Even as the economy evolves, the physical footprint of the original site remains a quiet witness to the transition from manufacturing to suburban life.
Sellers Park serves as a central gathering place for the people of DuPont, offering a green sanctuary that anchors the social life of the neighborhood. The cultural character is shaped by a deep appreciation for the outdoors and a respect for the environmental stewardship required by the surrounding terrain. While the area is not defined by the presence of global celebrities, it is marked by the quiet contributions of those who have helped curate its orderly streets and communal spaces. Residents often look toward the water near Barlow Island, finding a sense of peace in the tides that pulse rhythmically against the shoreline. This life is defined by the steady, unpretentious pace of a community that values its connection to the land and its neighbors.

Search Maps opens a second, independent map. It searches OpenStreetMap for any US town, county or landmark by name; offers USGS topographic maps and USGS aerial imagery as base layers; overlays a labelled U.S. National Grid (USNG) so the map can be read like a printed topographic quad; measures distance and grid, true and magnetic bearings between any two points; and takes a single GPS fix reporting your position as a USNG grid reference and as latitude and longitude. Map tiles require cell coverage, but a GPS position does not, so the coordinates remain correct even where the map cannot load.
Location data is drawn from the USGS Geographic Names Information System (GNIS) and cross-verified against 2020 US Census records by coordinate proximity. Population figures are sourced from the 2020 US Census.
